Mountaineering
From the early developments of mountaineering, with the first
ascents of the Alps in the 18th Century, the draw to
scale the world’s mountains has inspired generations. Early exploits
were designed to win fame & promote notoriety for the climber. So
why do we still climb mountains?
Mountaineering
activities offer anything from excitement and challenge to escapism,
solitude and relaxation. They do however require respect if we are
to enjoy them for what they are. Respect requires an understanding
of skills and techniques, which provide the pathway from the
foothills to the summits.
